Champion bought, but not available

I just started playing LOL and built up enough points to unlock a champion and after I unlocked the champion I thought everything was fine... until I logged off from my friends PC and went home to download the game for myself.

Why is the champion I unlocked no longer available to me? Is it because I unlocked one of the weekly free champions or something else?

Is there something I'm missing or do I have to unlock the champion on a weekly basis and just didn't notice it on the forums?

I don't see any reason why a champion you unlocked would be locked again. :/

When I started I also thought the same. However one of the things I overlooked was that once another player on your team selects that same hero, it greys out for you. So it pays to be quick in selecting your favorite in case your teammate takes it first =)
